The Death of Superman/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Cloning Blues]]: Features heavily in his character.

* [[Flying Brick]]: At first, he fits the trope perfectly having only those specific powers, later it turns out that he really has one power, "Tactile Kinesis" which he's been using to simulate the flying brick powers but has other applications.

* [[Totally Radical]]: Superboy's original look was a leather biker jacket, a surfer cut, shades, earrings, unnecessary straps and buckles and gloves, though the tights underneath were pretty standard. Naturally this meant he needed to frequently update his look. More recently, he's settled on the less trendy T-shirt and jeans look with buzzed hair he sports today.

* [[Younger and Hipper]]: Superboy along with the others, was originally a parody of then current trends in comic books as applied to Superman. He's grown beyond that.

 

If you're catching the pattern by now, it turns out he wasn't Superman either. He was the Eradicator, a supercomputer turned energy being bent on remaking Earth into Krypton, but this time around he was confused and forgot his own identity, believing himself to actually be Superman. His body was built from part of Superman's grave, and the energy matrix was powered by the body of Superman himself, who was rejuvenated from his prolonged stay in it. The Eradicator would sacrifice himself to repower Superman at the end of this series and his body would eventually be passed onto to a terminally ill STAR Labs scientist.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: The Eradicator sacrificed himself so that a Kryptonite blast meant to kill Superman would be altered to power Superman up leaving him fully charged to defeat the now weakened Cyborg.
